He is a superstar.

The difference between Laurie and the rest is that every second he’s consumed with how will he get past / around his opposite. It’s never just take the tackle and go again..He will use every trick in his arsenal to achieve that. Like his life depends on it..and he has the tricks too...like that wicked left step for starters

Ive got a feeling Hastings has zero interest of coming to WT and Madge will be holding onto Walters for dear life ..

Why do you think that?

 

[WA Tiger]

Why do you think that?

From what Ive read - “don’t believe everything you read” from Hastings

 

[WA Tiger]

U can imagine the WT fking it up anyway
Hastings: So can I play half
Pascoe: No no it’s kind of a lock and let’s see how half gos
Hastings: I want to play half back
Pascoe: Well look, if this and that and this and that happens, then yea ok...Here’s the form to sign right here..Have u got your own pen?
Hastings: Huh?

He is a superstar.

Ok. Sure

 

[WA Tiger]

Compared to what we are used to at fullback he is. You’d agree with that?
Excluding his long pass

No.
The guy has played a handful of games and is doing his job.
Calling him a star is dumb. Calling him a superstar is dangerous to his development.

I’m with you

Stand out for us in both games so far but super star is a bit premature

Certainly a standout, no argument here. He would be leading our players player table comfortably.

To clarify my position here, it is my opinion that people throw about these titles far too easily which affects the playing level of that player.

To be a star you have to achieve a certain status in the game based upon prolonged high performance, rep team selections and awards.
To be a superstar, you have to be in the top percentage of that group.
Daine may get into the first group in a couple of years and the second within 5 or so...a lot of hard work between now and then though.

Just to be clear I agree with you. I'm only calling him a superstar because we need some positivity rather than negativity. RTS & Turdesco are superstars. Great players that have done it consistently for years.

Laurie looks good so far though.

A bit over kill taking 3 posters and a ring in to come to the conclusion that Lauries not literally a superstar ..He’s obviously not but I’m going to call him a superstar anyway and any disagreement, tough and lighten up

Yeah well it’s this attitude that got Brooks his contract extensions.
Some people are saying they’ve only finally had enough of him now...I wanted him turfed back when the big 4 bullshit was happening.

Fair enough

Bullshit.

Champion.

Brooksy is under pressure. I hope he starts performing for the sake of our club. Let's see what happens.

 

[stryker]

It is 100% the case. A guy plays a few good games and people like you want him locked down for 5 years on huge money. This attitude is shared at times by the club and resulted in blokes like Brooks and Liddell still playing first grade.

Calling Laurie a superstar on this forum because he has killed it in his few chances in the top grade is not the same as stating sign Laurie up on a 5 year mega dollar contract.

The kid looks good. I hope he keeps playing to this level or even gets better.

There is no way that I have any feedback into contract negotiations at the Tigers. Never have and more than likely never will.

 

[WA Tiger]

Brooks will likely kill it today and completely bamboozle us with wtf to do with him ...There was very likely some pressure on Madge to sign him up when he shouldn’t have...That’s part symptom of the club being in such a mess and part Madge being Dumb C enough to sign him...Good coaches do their homework and ID weaknesses or consult with people they trust and then decide despite the noise. Madge was missing one or two of these essentials...prob both
The tragedy is that it’s likely that it kills Hartigan as much as us that Brooks is still on the Books..and he knew back then too not to sign him

You have missed the point as per usual. I’ll drop it.

Brooks game is at least an improvement on previous games imo.
